The most convenient place for you to meet if you are having the dinner as well Gold Coast Glow worm tour is at the restaurant in Ashmore at 6pm. Then you will be taken by bus to the glow worm caves for the tour and brought back to your car in Ashmore afterwards. If you would like to book this, please just mention that you would like to get picked up from the restaurant in Ashmore in the 'additional information' field when you book via the Book Now button and we will sort it out for you.

We are staying in Marriot Surfers Paradise. Do you pick up at our hotel and what time is it?

Hi Candy. Yes there are pick ups are available from the Marriot hotel in Surfers Paradise for the Gold Coast Glow Worm Caves tour. If you are doing the tour only then the pick up is at 7pm or if you also want dinner then the pick up is 5.05pm.

My wife and I are planning to fly to gold coast from Hong Kong for Easter and like to join the glow worm tour. Do you still have the tour running during 18 – 21 April 2014?

Comments

Hi Axel. Yes, the Glow worm cave tours in the Gold Coast run all day all year including the Easter holidays. There is currently space for you over this period however it does get very busy so I recommend booking via our website as soon as possible. We will then email confirmation straight back to you.

I would to buy tickets to the Glow worms and dinner in early May. I wonder if it is possible to cater gluten free diet for dinner?

Comments

Hi Chu Ming Hui, unfortunately there are no gluten free meal options for the Glow Worm Tour. The only option is to have the salad on it's own so unless you are happy to do this then I would recommend eating beforehand and doing the tour only.

Hi, would like to know if you pick up from the Grand Chancellor Surfer's Paradise Hotel and what time would you pick up? 7pm sharp or slightly earlier? What time would this be?

Comments

Hi Rachael, yes there is a pick up from the Grand Chancellor for the Gold Coast Glow Worm tour. Pick up time is at 5.50pm if you are doing the tour with dinner or 7.20pm if you are doing the tour only.

Hi, do you pick up at Palm beach the Estuary Motor Inn & Apartments? Thanks!

Comments

Hi Mingchao, unfortunately pick ups do not go as far south as Palm Beach for the Gold Coast Glow Worms. The closest pick up to you in Palm Beach is from Jupiters Casino, Broadbeach. If you are doing the tour with dinner then the pick up time there is at 6pm or if you are doing the tour only then the pick up time is at 7.30pm. You would need to make your way to Jupiters Casino for the pick up.

When you book the glowworm tour with the dinner, do you choose from the full menu? Are there restrictions and is it a 3 course meal?

Comments

Hi Andrea, the dinner includes a starter of garlic bread, a choice of steak, chicken or fish for your main which is served with chips and a salad and then you will finish with a dessert and tea or coffee. A vegetarian option is also available.

Hi, I am staying as Wyndham Resort, Surfers Paradise. Please confirm if there is a pick up from there, else advise the closest pick up from the resort. Is there any additional charges for pick up facility?
What can i expect in Vegetarian dinner?

Hi Param, there is no pick up from Wyndham Resort however there is a pick up from Watermark Hotel which is right next door to Wyndham Resort. The pick up is included in the cost of the tour so you do not pay extra to be collected from the Watermark Hotel. The vegetarian option for the dinner is a roasted vegetable pappardelle.
